    First Eggs Bobwhite Quail

    That's what I think. I know they are freakish sometimes and get scared easy, which I find I can always reassure them, unless one is freaking like that, the other always chases and bothers the other, almost like telling them to chill out, but only making matters worse. Usually, if I turn out all...

    I need Help!

    They actually ate 99% of the time fine. I take them out every day twice a day and spend time with them for about an hour each time. But yeah, even with that, every once in a while one gets really skiddish and freaks and the other then chases them until all calms down. We just successfully...

    First Eggs Bobwhite Quail

    I have a pair of Bobwhite that have been laying eggs like crazy since October. I have taken many eggs out and fed to my dogs, they love them, but suddenly, mom got all broody and began sitting on the eggs. She has barely been off them for 3 weeks and now I'm suddenly in a dilemma this morning as...

    I need Help!

    It's a pretty big hutch for two quail, and it has an upstairs room too. They are actually pretty happy and come out onto the table I have the hutch and bottom I built onto it and visit me every day. It has been quite a good thing up until yesterday. I do think there were some issues though with...

    I need Help!

    I guess I posted in the wrong area. Here was yesterdays post : So last I was here, I had gotten Therapy quail for the murder of my emotional support dog. I had three and my female was freaking out. I did not know until it was too late that the other two were male, and she needed a mate. After...

    How many days can quail eggs sit before incubating?

    Why would I have to take them out? She has now, since last Sunday, laid 7 eggs, only 1 in the new nest because they are young, had a bully male up until two days before the first laid egg, and just inexperienced. But they have been worried a little frantically about these other 6, so I put them...

    Help ! Winter is coming

    I would see if you can get some kind of heat lamp maybe. They will huddle anyways, but I'm thinking it will be a very cold and long winter. Also, do you have a sand bath for them? It could be Mites, and if they have a sand bath (a box with Natures Choice sand without silica). If it is mites...

    How many days can quail eggs sit before incubating?

    Thank you so much. I'm not quite sure what they are doing, but they seem to be both sitting on them and continuing to build nest. They have hay, grasses, weeds, and as of this morning, hay pellets. They have used the hay pellets they have torn up to cover the eggs up while they are working on...

    New to bobwhite quail, and would like some info

    I am the proud owner of two Bobwhite quail, one male and one female. I started with three, however the other two I got for my girl to have company ended up both being male and the smaller make began to really bully my female, as she chose the larger malr as her mate. I removed the aggressive...

    How many days can quail eggs sit before incubating?

    I have a question. My Bobs have been laying one egg per day since Sunday, so 4 days about. I have left them with her and her the entire time, and although she messes with them, turning them and stuff they have been very careful to NOT lay on them, only beside them. Yesterday they began fussing...

    Help please!

    I am sure I made mistakes too, but as you said, learning experience, and try again!! Those links, ESPECIALLY THE PDF WITH LINKS, should help you with it a lot. I think they just may have needed help. I even screwed up on the help with one and I felt so horrible. I think I was not patient enough...

    Decline Of The Bobwhite, a Little Known Issue

    I absolutely love coming here to Backyard Chickens, with such a vast community of fowl loving people. But I wanted to touch on a little known subject that I feel is very important to those bird loving people out there "The Decline of the Bobwhite Quail in America". 100 years ago, we probably...

    Newbie Quail Questions

    Actually, releasing them would be great!! I'm not sure how many know this, but Bobs are on the "Threatened Species" list, not "Endangered" yet, but their numbers are declining yearly in the wild. If we could help the Bobwhite flourish again, we may not lose them all. You have to understand...

    Help please!

    Sorry to hear about your losses. Congratulations on your hatches. This happens for various reasons. There may have been something wrong with the chick. Most likely they couldn't get out of the sack/shell. They probably died in those last days, if they were fully developed. Sometimes we must...
